If you extend it to the BSD family, Perl is safest. However Python most likely have an easier learning curve than Perl. Both languages are, IMHO, good alternatives. But I generally find Python code much easier to to read. Performance wise, they can both perform very well. If you have no Python experience at all, I can recommend this book: <http://www.diveintopython.net/>
I have found that the biggest issue I have with Perl is folks trying to cram the sun, the moon, and stars all on to one line. I much prefer to break things up into several line to make them as self documenting as possible. But at least I can figure Perl out most of the time when I see it. I have a harder time with C and I know I shouldn't
